"Bombay Brokers collect thirty-six character profiles of men and women whose knowledge and labor--which is often seen as morally suspect--are essential for navigating everyday life in Bombay, one of the world's most complex, dynamic, and populous cities."--

‘The conceptual and geographic scope of this timely collection of ethnographically-based writings is exceptionally rich. The authors explore inequalities in relation to citizenship, policy, precariousness, social exclusion, transformation, sovereignty, class, gender and kinship to illuminate the predicament of urban communities as they structure their daily lives in the context of deepening socio-economic divides.’ —Hana Cervinkova, Professor of Anthropology, Maynooth University, Ireland ‘In this volume, Italo Pardo and Giuliana Prato interrogate the complex and nuanced phenomenon of urban inequalities. Ethnographic insights from across the globe tease out the relations of the varieties of ways in which inequalities are perpetuated, nurtured and imposed, most often reinforcing what already fragments the society. A very timely volume to aid reflexive thoughts on the present and future of humankind.’ —Subhadra Channa, Professor of Anthropology (retired), University of Delhi, India, Senior Vice President of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) and Chair of the IUAES Commission on Marginalization and Global Apartheid This collection brings together leading thinkers on human beings in urban spaces and inequalities therein. The contributors eschew conceptual confusion between equality — of opportunity, of access, of the right to compete for whatever goal one chooses to pursue — and levelling. The discussions develop in the belief that old and emerging forms of inequality in urban settings need to be understood in depth, as does the machinery that, as masterfully elucidated by Hannah Arendt, operates behind oppression to sustain power and inequality. Anthropologists and fellow ethnographically-committed social scientists examine socio-economic, cultural and political forms of urban inequality in different settings, helping to address comparatively these dynamics.

Une conviction fonde ce livre : images, discours et pratiques lient les arts visuels aux sciences humaines et sociales dans le champ des études urbaines. Cette proximité n'est pas seulement métaphorique mais repose sur des affinités théoriques. Des projets de recherche s'ouvrent aux démarches artistiques et renouvellent les processus de travail ainsi que les formes de leur restitution. Aujourd'hui, des travaux de ce type se multiplient et jouissent d'une audience attentive. Malgré une histoire déjà ancienne et ta bonne réception critique qu'elles suscitent, tes collaborations entre arts et sciences humaines et sociales n'en continuent pas moins de poser problème. Nombre de personnes impliquées dans ta création et dans la recherche revendiquent une double appartenance à l'art et à la science et l'idée d'une "pensée par l'image". L'injonction courante faite par leurs pairs de séparer des domaines d'activité, pourtant articulés dans ta pratique, renforce ta difficulté de leur positionnement. Fidèle à une tradition ethnographique, ce livre analyse te fonctionnement même des collaborations, leurs pratiques, leurs temporalités, leurs arrangements matériels, leurs objets, leurs techniques, leurs références et leurs catégories. Les œuvres en commun conduisent à inventer des formes et à envisager de nouvelles "esthétiques de la réception" dans te processus de création comme dans sa restitution. Ce livre réunit des artistes, des chercheuses et chercheurs de différentes générations. En les invitant à ouvrir la boîte noire de leurs collaborations, nous proposons d'explorer les promesses qui les lient lorsqu'elles ou ils travaillent ensemble.
